Urban Pollution Solutions Through Dispersion Modeling and Atmospheric Measurements

CEE Assistant Professor Khaled Ghannam is part of the Intelligent Solutions to Urban Pollution for Equity and Resilience (iSUPER), a Northeastern initiative that will integrate sensors and prediction models to detect pollution on a neighborhood-level scale. The resulting data will hopefully inform policy decisions to improve urban air quality.
